GRAND TOUR OF Sardinia
See the Best Of Sardinia With a Small Group
Sardinia is often known for its beaches and crystal-clear waters, but the island reveals much more when explored at a slower pace. This small-group journey is designed for travellers who want to experience Sardinia beyond the obvious, combining its coastal landscapes with lesser-known places, local traditions, and everyday life. On the journey, we move from the north-west around Alghero down along the western coastline and into the south, before reaching the north-east near Olbia, while exploring coastal landscapes, inland villages, and lesser-visited parts of the island along the way. Nature and food are central to the experience, with time spent along Sardinia’s rugged coastline and in local settings such as agriturismo and wineries, where you can taste regional dishes and products shaped by the island’s strong traditions.
Take a look at the itinerary.
